Global Center of The Carpet Sector

The fair has been quite productive for us overall; the level of interest is high, and compared to last year, we had the opportunity to meet with more international visitors. Although immediate sales may not always materialize, as an export-oriented company, the international connections we establish here are extremely valuable for us. During the fair, we held meetings with visitors from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and many European countries. We have been participating for three years and plan to continue attending in the coming years. I can confidently say that this fair makes a significant contribution both to the industry and to Istanbul’s economy.

This is our second year participating in the fair, and overall we are very satisfied with both the organization and the visitor interest. One of the designs we exhibited receiving an award was a particular source of pride for us. Our original collection featuring traditional motifs attracted strong attention, and we had productive meetings with visitors from various countries. Holding the fair in Türkiye is a very правиль decision considering that we are a manufacturing country, and it also offers cost advantages. We plan to continue participating in the coming years and recommend that all companies take part in this important gathering.

Although we found this year’s fair slightly slower compared to last year, we can still say that we are generally satisfied with the overall outcome. In terms of visitor profile, customers from the United States stand out, while there is also interest from Europe, though the main focus is the American market. The impact of global economic conditions is being felt across all sectors, and we attribute the decline in demand to this; however, we still believe that fairs always create opportunities. This is our third time attending this fair, and our company has been participating in various fairs for many years. We plan to continue in the future. We are exhibiting handmade carpets, and we believe the fair contributes both to the industry and to the city’s economy, particularly in accommodation and service sectors.

The fair has been very dynamic and productive for us; we see that our brand has become more visible and is being met with strong interest from visitors. Our stand is currently being visited by buyers from many countries, especially Mexico, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. We offer visitors a wide range of carpets that are hard to find elsewhere, featuring authentic Turkish motifs and colorful designs suitable for every home. We plan to participate in the coming years and strongly recommend other companies to join as well. We are mainly exhibiting handwoven products, and we believe the fair helps increase the international visibility of Turkish carpets, both handmade and machine-made. Visitors discover new designs here while also building industry connections in a more friendly environment.

The fair has been very busy and productive for us; we had a similar pace last year, and everything is progressing as planned this year as well. Although we mainly operate in the domestic market, we also had the opportunity to meet many international clients—particularly from Europe, as well as from the United States and China. I believe this fair is an important platform for anyone who wants to see carpet designs up close, follow trends, and build the right connections on the export side. We have been participating in the Istanbul fair for two years, and previously took part in fairs in Gaziantep. We plan to continue participating in the coming years. We mainly exhibit decorative machine-made carpets based on acrylic, polypropylene, and polyester, and we believe the fair makes a significant contribution both to companies and to Türkiye’s position in the global carpet industry.

I believe that the TÜYAP Career Route event, organized as part of the International Carpet and Flooring Expo by TÜYAP, has been highly beneficial for both industry stakeholders and students interested in this field. The opportunity to hear knowledge and experiences from speakers of different disciplines allowed participants to get to know the sector more closely and develop a broader vision. I believe such gatherings play an inspiring and progressive role in shaping the future of the industry. I would also like to thank the TÜYAP team for this valuable organization.

I think the TÜYAP Career Route event was a valuable first within the scope of the carpet fair. This platform, which brought together industry professionals with students and young participants, provided a very enjoyable and productive meeting environment. I hope that similar organizations will continue and would like to thank all the authorities who made this opportunity possible.

I believe the International Carpet and Flooring Expo is a very valuable platform that brings together all stakeholders of the sector. In particular, the TÜYAP Career Route panel event organized as part of the fair made it possible to establish new connections among actors within the industry, which was extremely valuable. In this respect, I think a very successful organization was carried out, and I congratulate the entire team, especially TÜYAP officials, and wish for its continuation.

We came from Demirci, Manisa to visit the fair and were generally very satisfied. Since Demirci is known as the capital of wool carpets, this organization holds special importance for us. Some of our members also participated in the fair, and this is our third time attending as visitors. We especially visited companies producing wool carpets and encountered very successful collections in the product groups we were interested in. We were able to find the products we were looking for. Additionally, seeing innovations in the sector on-site and exchanging ideas was very productive for us. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this valuable organization.

I attended the fair from the city center of Bingöl and found the organization very successful. This fair, which hosts participants from many countries every year, provides a highly suitable platform to see different companies together and to examine products closely. We specifically reviewed products by yarn type; we focused on acrylic, viscose, polyester-content, and decorative carpet groups and were able to find the products we were looking for. It is very important for us to see new trends and innovations in the sector at the fair because the carpet industry is constantly evolving, and it is necessary to keep up with this change. I recommend that anyone interested in the carpet industry visit such fairs. We will continue to attend in the coming years. I would like to thank everyone who contributed.
